KENTUCKY TROOPERS

BY H. L. AMBROSE, co. +, 3D KY. CAV, ROCK

During the early part of the war there was
sort of odium attached to the cavalry arm of
the service. In fact, i believe there was
standing premium offered for the sight of the
first dead cavalryman. But, briefly. l will at
tempt TO show that in at least one of the earlier
battles of the war; refer TO the battle of
Stone River-the cavalry gave good ac-

At this time we were brigaded with the Sd and
4th Ohio Cav. and the 4th Regulars, with Col.
Kenneth, of the 4th Ohio in command of the
brigade.
We had been actively engaged skirmishing
with the enemy on the TANKS of the army from
Nashville down TO their lines in front of Muir
freesboro; with a smart brush at La Vergne,
where we rested over Sunday. We reached
the enemy's lines and closed down on them on
Monday evening, Dec. 90, 1862.
Early on Wednesday morning, Dec. 81, our
regiment was detached from the brigade and
moved down close TO the front and just in rear

strangely enough, we were ordered to get
breakfast and feed our horses without unsad-
ding 1t was a hot place for cavalry. for our
battery soon drew the fire of the enemy's guns
across the river. and for short time we had
some lively work with our horses amidst burst
ing shells, whistling solidshot and falling tree

the best thing for supporting artillery.

LEE GRANpEsr PICTURE


in my mind to-day connected with the war is
the memory OF the arrival Of the 18th Regular
Cav. on the field of combat just described.
The regiment was n large one, and famous for
its pluck and discipline. The men were large
and well mounted. and their arms and aceou-
terments, every button and buckle, as bright as
silver. 1t might have been that We were in a
condition 10 appreciate more fully such sight,
but all! it irdS magnificent!
Here they come, by fours, head Of column to
the front, with sabers drawn and at full gallop.
The bugler Of the regiment, full-blooded CO.
manche Indian. sitting his horse as straight as
an arrow, leading the regiment few PAGES and
sounding the charge at every jump. 1t was a
sight to carry CONSERVATION to every heart of
the rebel force and it did so, for before they
had time TO dispose their forces to meet this new
enemy their battery was gone, and their re-
formed and reinforced line was confronted by
an opposite line, full of Spencer repeating car
bines in the hands of trusty men.
In the meantime, Col. Kenneth, our brigade
commander. had arrived with the balance of
the brigade, aud we were all pushed out TO the
front and soon had the field cleared and our
train safe beyond question. OF the officers of
wounded in the arm. and Col. Murray received
a shot in his left groin. The ball penetrated
his saddle holster, discharging revolver in its
course, but fortunately producing only slight
wound. Capt. Boyle, of Co. L, was slightly
wounded by fragment of shell which

A piece Of the same shell struck me on the

less seriously hurt. but only six or seven killed

This was the first day Of the battle of Stone

in which it acted on the first day of the battle
in saving the ammunition train. For this reason

DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes, on

Are we to infer from this that
this generation is responsible for
the condition of the race hundred
years from nowf
Is this wonderful generation the
natural result of the proper diet and
medicines of a hundred years ago!
It is conceded in ott er lands that
most of the wonderful discoveries of
the world IN this century have come
from This country. Our ancestors
were reared in log cabins, and
suffered hardships and trials.
But they lived and enjoyed health
to ripe old age. The women of
those days would endure hardships
without apparent fatigue that
would starle those OF the present
age.
Why was it?
One of the proprietors of the
popular remedy known as Warmers

tigating the cause, and has called to
his aid scientists as well as medical
men. impressing upon them the
fact that there cannot be an effect
without cause. This investisa-

olden times SIMPLE remedies were
administered, compounded of herbs
and roots, which were gathered
and stored in the lofts of the log

There it is-Now go to your ware

speak well for your market? Wouldn't
it have been better for you if nothin g
had been said?
We are persuaded that the fairness
and honesty the Patriot was clamoring
for has been accorded, and we shall
leave it to the people to say whether
the evidence is in favor of Greensboro
or Winston.
THE SENTINEL has now had its say.
1t has said what it has, not to damage
Greensboro, but to defend Winston.
We haven't spark of jealousy of
Greensboro, on the contrary we wish
her all success and are glad of any
advancement she may make, but when
her papers unjustly attempt to win
glory for her at the expense of Win
ston, we draw the line right there
we will speak out in meetin'" every
time.
For the sake of that city's prosper
ity, for the sake of her tobacco mar
ket, it is now time for the Patriot to
remain quiet.

Wet-by majority OF 1922 is
what is recorded of the election on

on both sides, and did their utmost.
Notwithstanding the eloquent speech
of Henry Grady, extracts from which
we publish on the first page, the songs
and prayers of women and children,
the whiskey men car ried the day. 1t
was one of those unaccountable re-
bounds of public opinion that are tax

short while ago the populance of At

rooms !" Last week it faced about
and said "Open them wide" The re-
suit is surprise, but will be stimu-
lus to the Prohibitionists. 1t is
thought that the next Legislature of
Georgia will vote to tax bar-rooms
$4,000. IF the result of this election
will have any influence on the legisla-
tors it will be to make the Prohibit
ionists firmer, land thus what now seems

What were these remedies ?What

systems require.
Among them is what is known

rilla, they frankly announce that
they do not consider the Sarsapa-
rilla of SO much value in itself as it
is in the combination OF the various
ingredients which together work
marvelosly upon the system, They
have preparations for other diseases
such as Warmers Log Cabin Cough
and Consumption Remedy, Log
Cabin Hops and Buchu Remedy,
Warmers Log Cabin Scalpine, for
the hair. They have great conf
dence that they have a cure for the
! common disease OF catarrh, which
they give the name of Log CABIN
Rose Cream. Also Log Cabin
Plaster, which they are confident
will supplant all others, ane a Liver
Pill, to be used separately or in
connection with the other rene

We hope that the public will not
be disappointed in these remedies
but will reap a benefit from the in

will not be embarrassed in their in

TARIFF TALK.
Through the Presidents conference
with some OF the leaders of his party
it is pretty well known what his rec
concentrations to Congress will be as to
the surplus of the Treasury. There
will be definite, urgent recommends
ton for reduction of the revenues to
the extent of about $1,000 0O, 900, to be
secured by adding to the free list OF
imports and reductions of duties on
necessaries of life In such a manner as
not to increase the revenues, and by
the repeal of the tax on raw tobacco.
The tax on cigars will not be disturb
ed, as it would interfere with q very
important industry. The platform
upon which tho Democrats won in
New York this fall recommended q
reduction in the revenues of $100, 000,.
600 and the leaders of the party are
prepared to make the issue direct.
Besides the recommendations, which
will be explicit, there will be an admin.
istration bill, built on these recommen-
dations which will be informally pre-
scented to the democratic members,
and it is expected to go, perhaps with
some changes, to the Ways and Means
Committee practically with the sanct-
ion Of the party. The action Of the
committe will be very formal. There

THE ON.TOBACCO MARKET
LEADS.

IF anybody says Greensboro does
not give bigger prices for tobacco
than " inston, he lies Misrepresen-
tation-malicious the purpose of
deceiving the farmers. Braggadocio,
tar, feathers, scalps, blood Whoop!
The Greensboro Patriot haunts the
snsanguined garment and wildly saws
the air. Why7 Because the SENTI-
MEL reported some sales of tobacco on
the Greensboro market, said the tobac-
CO was sold in Winston at a certain
advance over the Greensboro prices,
and gave the parties names. Because
the Patriot can't find these names on
the warehouse books, 1t must imme-
diately cry "Falsehood p and spit fire
and birthstone. "Be aisy" brother
Whitehead, We. will calm that restless
pulse of care. True enough you
couldn't find the names of Messrs.
Alex. Kiger and A. J. Danly on your
warehouse books. Wait-don't kick
yeti was because the tobacco
was sold under another name in
Greensboro. 1t vas probably sold
under the name of Alex. Merritt.
You have forgotten that such things
are not only possible, but are fire.
quently done.
Because, forsooth, You cannot find
that Mr.. S. L. futile sold any tobacco
in Greensboro at $500 is no reason
that it wasn't sold there. We gave
you the facts, as told to US .by reliable
men and the Patriot ought to be very
particular about calling them pet
names-they might be loaded, you
know
You forgot too, that three other
farmers, Messrs. Thos. futile, Alex.
Merritt and S. L. futile realized to-
gether 500 more on their tobacco by
taking it in from the special SALE in
Greensboro and bringing it to Wins
ton. Truth hurts sometimes, but it is
best to endure it, friend, than to fee
to that you know not Of.
Messrs. B. J. Bolinjack and Alex.
Merritt were in the city to-day and we
have the following document that
may somewhat shake the Patriots un-
belief and moderate its language.
We the undersigned know that to-
oacco was sold in Greensboro for S.
L. futile, Alex. Kiger and others,
that it was shipped to Winston and
sold at large increase in price. Some
of our tobacco has brought, in Wins
ton, nearly three times what it
brought in Greensboro. Further
more, we know the statements made
by the SENTINEL to be true.
(Signed) B. j. BoLINJAcK.
ALEX. MERRITT.
The Patriot will see from the above
statements that Winston has surpass-
ed Greensboro even further than we
stated. Nearly three times what it
brought in Greensboro" 1t will also
see that what we first stated was truei
Here is the proof Where now do
you stand Brother Patriot' Where
now are your charges of misrepresen-
tation?
Now, here are some additional facts
and figures that will prove highly in
teresting and instructive reading to
the farmers of Stokes, Surry and 9TH
er neighboring counties !: A few days
ago there was another special sale"
advertised, the farmers were invited
to carry their best tobacco to Green's
boro and good prices were guaran-
teed. Many farmers did go down and
carry tobacco, but alas, for many of
them, the trip was proftless one and
they took in the tobacco because it
sold 50 low, and shipped it up TO Win
ston where they got good prices. Here
